Report: This man started talking with me in October of 2016, he then went to Turkey for an engineering job. We continued to talk through January of 2017. It was then that he started asking for money and a computer and all sorts of things.

Report: Male scammer we had communication for two months,my email is flooding and I developed an attachment with him...I sacrificed my time.I sent him 4,900 USD and until now he is asking money from me...I know now I was scammed and this person is not existing because of his fictitious character.Catfish all are false character even the pictures he sent me I googled and it was a prominent person in the US navy,an admiral general retired.I t tried reading all the mails here and it turns out some are the same mails I received he just copy and paste.For two months I felt I was really in the air floating and tickled with his letters. But it turns out I was fooled how many times. I send him money five times through western union. Its true aside from loosing the money you earned in years your savings. The emotions it caused me for I was devastated for a month because I had lost my moral in myself knowing that these people played your emotions.I spent hours composing emails for him. Always encouraged him in all his problems I even told him I wish this union of ours is true and existing. It is their job to collect money.The process of moving on is so difficult if you experienced this. I was new in that site for almost a week and I never knew they are a lot of scammers in all dating sites.

Report: This scammer has now managed to con a third person. My mother has been involved with this person for quite a few months. She has been completely brainwashed by this man. So much so that she is on the brink of losing her job. She is borrowing money from everywhere she can in order to pay this man. His story is that he is stuck in Dubai on some oil rig - the people that he has a contract with has taken his passport and in order for him to get out of the contract and to get his passport back he needs to pay them R40 000. He has found out that we have caught him out - he has managed to convince her that we are the enemy and we are only trying to keep them apart. She is head over heels in love with this fiction of a character. He has resorted to promising her that he is coming to fetch her and move into his house in Kommetjie in Cape town. He was supposed to land at OR Tambo over the weekend of 5 August 2017, but then suddenly when he arrived at the airport, there were no seats available on the flight to South Africa. Then he found a seat on an airplane for Tuesday - but then another excuse popped up. To date she has spent close to R50 000 on this person and the amount is growing at a rapid pace. I sincerely hope this person is caught soon and put to book with all the devastation he has caused.

Report: I have been writing back and forth to this person for about a month and some of the emails I have been sent have been cut and paste from online which have been linked to scammers. I am extremely concerned because I have spoken to this person about my child as well as sent photos of myself and son when I believed he was who he said he was, but, the longer we communicate the more red flags I have been seeing. He has used Kik as the main form of contacting me, started talking on Meetme app and has used a phone number from TextNow. Says he is a soilder serving oversea in Nigeria and I am having some military friends as well look into if there is a person with this name currently serving.

Report: this guy contacted me on facebook. he was good looking so i accepted we messaged on fb for awhile then exchanged phone numbers. he called me a 3-4 times left vm saying how much he loved me and we were going to get married etc.I just let him go on. then i got the text saying he had to go to turkey for work of course he was a engineer, about 2 days after he got there i got the text saying he was given a contract worth 8million dollae had to get the equipment there within 3 days and to do that he needed like 100,000 cash sent to the place where he normal does business he could raise almost all of it except 50,000 and that was the first amount he asked for then it went to 25,000, 20,000, finally 5000, all the while he was being kicked out of his motel there in turkey had no food or his cell phone but he still texted from the same number, said one of the guys that he hired was letting him sleep on his couch. He even had his supposely 15yr old daughter email me stating what a good and faithful man her dad was and how much he loved me and wanted to marry me, since she had no mom she wanted me to be her mom i have her emails also her name is emily sottile, in fact i did get one last email from her asking me to send her a 50.00 Itunes card because she had not heard from her dad in months and she feared she never would. I never sent money to either of them and my last contact with michael was 6/21/17 that was a text. he had even sent what was his flight home to me ticket i didnt get a chance to save that because it was on fb and all of a sudden all of his messages were gone.

Report: We had been emailing back and forth for a month and he was in the military. Going off base and was going to send his dog and some gold coins. Ended up asking for money to get dog out of customs seizure. Was not who he claimed to be and I believe him to have been working with more than one accomplice who also claimed to be a foreign diplomat. Neither person was able to be located on google search. Pictures were sent to me and one specific picture was sent based on how I wanted him to pose. Tell me there were probably at least 3 people involved.

Report: Matched on bumble. Claims he is from West Haven CT. Stated he is an engineer working on oil rig in Gulf of Mexico.
He called to cancel meeting and it appears he has a very strong foreign accent. Don't know much about him, except that he says his birthday is August 7th... convenient... since it was a few days away. Claims he had to go back to oil rig before his month vacation was up. He told me he dropped his lap top and was not able to recover a presentation he was to make, but also was not correct about certain things. He did not ask me for anything, but felt like it was coming.
Felt like I was being set up, every time we texted, he had a major issue going on in his life.
Did not have a good feeling about him, so reported him and blocked him on my phone. Too many things just did not add up.
Please be careful with this guy, not sure what his intentions are, but don't think they are good.
